OKW need a early anti MG-Spam unit.

first of all, remain friendly: wish them good luck with their chemotherapy.

After that is done, focus on game again. Your best bet is either double ISG's (yes, two) or luchs rush. Luchs rush requires steady fuelincome though so if you're getting pushed into your own base, Luchs is not really an option.

In that case go two ISG's. Now he has two options: either he moves maxim or he loses it. If he moves it, you keep firing on it with the ISG (duh) if he loses it, you take it. Rinse and repeat, try to not lose too much units in the meantime as you need the manpower later on for his tanks.

The winter patch, coming soon™, will buff both the Luchs and the Flak halftrack vs garrisoned units. In my opinion it's a good idea to make the incendiary grenade unlocked by the truck call-in, rather that the first tech building (just like the Panzerfaust will be), which would make infantry flanks more viable.

(Reposting what I wrote in shoutbox)

Its easy to counter maxim spam as OKW: dont play agressive until you have double ISG (<-- these are your best friends vs maxim spam lol). On 2v2-4v4 maps, set your med HQ on a good position at front for forward retreat and reinforce

Vs maxims your inf will need to retreat often, thats why u need forward retreat point. Use ur dubble ISG to exclusively focus on maxims: use barrage with this 25% increased ISG barrage reload bulletin

Dont spam too much volks, 2.. max. 3 is enough, build sandbags on important res sectors and near your med HQ

Go t4 in late, t3 only sensefull if you play with arranged team or if u got command panther

if u use the barrage..he will move the mg..and 2sec later sit like a duck in other place (look to the first replay)

You need to react on that, relocate your volks, flank him while he needs to relocate his maxim, and the bulletin allows u to quickly change the target for ISG barrage

Maxim spam is stupidly strong, and a pain in the *** especially for newcomers. I know that my advices sound way easier than they are in practice... it needs a while until you are able to optimise this strat, but as soon as u do, maxim spam shouldn't be a problem anymore.

I would like to know how u usually use your volks... do you blob them?

as sovjet u can make a base lock in the early 3-4min vs OKW...
look to the first replay...i had my medi truck build...than the area was lock from a MG abuser

dont build medic truck outside of base if u see the first (and/or 2nd) maxim appear.

Hi, if youre having problems aganst certain strategies, then it may be wiser to post a replay into state office ans aks for review. Just don´t be shy, everybody there is friendly there.


To topic : Yes OKW sucks against maxims in urban maps, thats why I have feuersturm in my rooster, I think that leigt really needs smoke barrage, it will be good start for okw changes, because you have 2 meta commader with nuke (infiltration) grenades, one with flamer and all others have incendiary grenades, so mostly the orpblem is that you cannot close in to force mg to dislocate, not actually dislocating her
